The forces and energy involved consist of speed/velocity, gravity and kinetic energy.
It is called the pole vault pit.
many people say that a vaulters run up is what is building there potintial energy which is sortof true but in reality however much the pole bends is the potintial energy of the vault
Well, participants use a long pole to vault (jump) over a rod, thus the name pole vault
Pole Vault Poles used to made out of materials such as wood, metal and bamboo. Pole Vault Poles are now made out of bendable materials such as Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber
Bill Miller - pole vault - was born in 1912.
Bill Miller - pole vault - died in 2008.
Anybody with a heart can pole-vault but it takes courage and a decent amount of physical ability(be coordinated)
Pole vault is classed as a 'jump' in the field event in athletics.

It can't pole-vault because it couldn't hold onto a pole. If it could somehow, it wouldn't have the coordination to move the pole the way it should.
A pole vaulter converts chemical potential energy stored in their muscles into kinetic energy as they run. This kinetic energy is then transferred to the pole as potential energy. The pole vaulter is then lifted off the ground, converting the potential energy stored in the pole into gravitational potential energy.
